Parquet Flooring in Bordon

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive pattern across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring option which works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet comes in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a wide selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor can come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which function several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring is durable and demands little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed by using a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
